Popgun,
The sentiment here is certainly sound. But....the MOU applies now to such a small minority of JQ pilots. (about 120 out of 8-900)
If the document was amended to be inclusive of ALL JQ pilots (just as it includes ALL QF pilots) then this suggestion might gain more traction.
As stated above, the MOU doesn't apply to any QF pilots joining after 2004. Arguably these are the pilots who need the ability to transfer the most, as the threat of redundancies hangs over their heads.
Plenty of these junior QF guys have gone to JQ, but they aren't under the MOU. They've all joined at the bottom of the JQ list on a LWOP arrangement from QF.
